With the SS tax increases, my 3% raise equated to a $1.18 per pay period raise. Another lady at work reported to me that her's decreased by .30 per pay period. The benefits did go up some, but about 65% of the increase was SS taxes

I'm around 150/mo poorer+ huge increase in insurance. love a 3-4% decrease in pay+growing gas costs. I seem to remember some POS preaching about helping put more money in my pocket not sucking it dry. Wait til we start paying for Obamacare! But hey its cool glad we all got to pay for you to play with Tiger last week or for your vacations.

Less than a month after starting his second term, Obama is on a three-day golf getaway in Florida, while his wife, Michelle, and their daughters, Malia and Sasha, are skiing in Colorado. On Saturday he received instructional tips from Woods' former swing coach, Butch Harmon.

Raise? What is that? I went 3 yrs w. no raise, then when they started giving raises the company gave out 1% raise and said be happy we have a job.

Everyone should see a 2% social security tax increase as it went back to 6.2%. For Federal taxes everyone should still be being taxed at the 2012 rates as the gov. hasn't released rates for 2013. Although there are rumors that when we file our tax return for 2013, the return will be based on rates other than what we have been withheld on.

Another change that I've seen is Health insurance. Higher premiums and deductibles and those are expected to go even higher next year.
